Installation / 2011 Tahoe:
1. This installation can be done by going under the front bumper to
access the fog lights. If you have difficulty gaining access to the fog
lights this way, you may also remove the 3 christmas tree fasteners
and 2 screws toward the front of the wheel well that hold the wheel
shroud on and peel the shroud back.
2. Unplug the existing fog light from the wiring harness, remove the
mounting hardware and remove the fog light from the vehicle. If the
vehicle is not equipped with fog lights remove the rubber plug from
this location. The plug is removed by pinching together the retaining
clips protruding from the back to disengage the plug allowing it to be
pushed out towards the front of the vehicle.
3. Insert the LED Driving/Warning light into the hole the existing light
occupied.
4. Mount the LED Driving/Warning light into the 2 slots the existing light
mounted to (Fig. 1). Secure the Driving/Warning light using the
supplied mounting hardware.
5. Connect the wires to the Driving/Warning light wiring then replace
the fasteners and screws if you removed them in step 1.
Follow these wire designations to connect the lighthead wires:

Operation:
Warning Light Input - RED/WHT wire (RED/BLUE light) or BLUE wire (BLUE light)
or RED wire (RED light): Positive voltage for Warning Lights
Apply positive voltage to this wire to activate the warning lights. If this wire is
activated, the driving lights (White LEDs) will not operate.
Driving Light Input - WHITE Wire: Positive voltage for Driving Lights
Apply positive voltage to this wire to activate the driving lights. If the warning lights are
activated, this wire will not work. If this wire is activated and you engage the warning
lights, the driving lights cut out automatically .
Flash Pattern Selection (Scan-Lock™) - WHITE-VIOLET wire:
With the Warning Lights activated: TO CYCLE FORWARD TO THE NEXT
PATTERN, apply +VBAT to the WHT/VIO wire for less than 1 second and release. TO
CYCLE BACK TO THE PREVIOUS PATTERN, apply +VBAT to the WHT/VIO wire
for more than 1 second and release.
TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PATTERN: When the desired pattern is displayed,
allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The warning lights will now display this pattern
when initially activated.
TO RESTORE THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: With the power to the warning
lights off, apply +VBAT to the WHT/VIO wire. With the WHT/VIO wire still activated,
turn power to the warning lights on. The factory default pattern should now be
displayed.
Use a normally open momentary switch to control Scan-Lock™
